Mrs. Arp and the Signs.

does not believe in them, of course, for
they have fooled her too often, but some

more happily. sneezed this morning
most heartily, and she said: "My nose

But all signs fail IN dry weather and

The Raku and Batoum Oil Pine.

The Russian government has just grant
ed concession for a pipe line to connect
the Baku Oil fields with the port of Batouln
ON the Black sea. The concession is to
last twenty years, with the proTiso that
the first line shall be completed within
three years. The government not only
guarantees no interest, but stipulates that
the pipe line company shall not, during
the term of concession own or have any
interest in either oil wells or oil refineries.
Wherever the lines traverse government
lands no charge for right of way will be
made, and everywhere the company will
have the same rights and privileges as are
granted to railroads. One-third of the
pipes must be constructed in Russia un-
less such is proved to be impossible. The
tariff for the pumpage of the oil has been
fixed at from ten to eleven copecks a
pound, equal to about one-tenth cent a
gallon.
The whole length of the line will be 603
miles. The pipe laying will be easy all
along, except when the line crosses the
Caucasian mountains. This will be accom-
plished at the Suram pass, which is about
5000 feet above the sea level, by series
Of pumping stations furnished with large
Worthington pumps. The gravity of the
oil itself will carry it from the summit of
the pass down to the sea level at Batoum.
1t is contemplated having the whole set of
lines completed and running inside Of
three years.-Engineering and Mining

A Plan That Didn't Work.

One druggist had an automatic chestnut
register on the door of the closet in which
he keeps the poisonous stuff of his
stock, and it rings every time the closet is
opened to take anything from 1t. The
tingle of the bell was for the purpose Of
awakening the clerk to the responsibility
of his actions.
1t didn't work.
II thought 1t good plan," the druggist
said, as he asked the reporter If he ever
smoked, "but this was how it worked: A
fellow came rushing in here one night
with a prescription for his wife, and, like
every person under similar circumstances
of excitement he must tell me all about
her dangerous condition.
"Great Scottl What's that?" he asked,
rs the bell on the door of my poison closet
rang. AS he was too excited to be telling
a story, he didn't understand why the
bell rang, and looked at me suspiclously.
"'Bell of the poison closet, replied.
"'Putting poison i'll my wifc's medi-
ciner he exclaimed. We'll, suppose it's
all right, but tell you, as l told the doc
tor, that my wife is one of those women
Heavens! there's that bell again. More
poison? Look here, amt you making
some mistake, putting so much poison in
my wife's medicine? No? Well, / don't
know about that. Here, give me the pre-
scription. guess I'd better see the doctor
about it. / don't want my wife poisoned
There were so many occurrences like
that" the druggist concluded, 'that we
had to do away with the little scheme.
However, you may say that all druggists
are exceedingly careful, and it's very rare
that errors are made. You know, no
man is infallible. .''-Cincinnati CONNER

A leading jewelry store up Broadway
displays some very PRETTY conceits in
jeweled pins. One was morning glory
in transparent dark enamel with the
natural stripes Of the flower represented
by paved diamond work. The bright,
varied hues of the outer surface are also
brought out beautifully by the enamel.
Diamond pansies are also very popular.
Variegated gold work is coming more and
more into use in the line Of fine jewelry,
and one scarf pin shown, an engraved
bird with outspread wings, produced q
dazzling effect. A decided oddity in the
way of rings is bent shark, having out
ward curving ends set with companion
stones. One ring of the kind had a bent
shark around the ends, which were set
with diamonds and were joined together
with an emerald set obliquely. The silly
craze for monograms on coins has died,
as it ought to have died before it was
born. 1t was always bad waste of good
money.-New York Cor. Baltimore Amer

Villas Denies the Story.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 4.-Postmaster
General Villas denies that he is a candidate
for the vice presidency on the ticket with
Mr.. Cleveland in 1888. There Ii not the
slightest foundation for such q story - said
he Friday, ''and the statement certainly
never received any encouragement from me
either by thought, word or deed. Several
gentlemen have already spoken to me about
this paragraph, and to each one returned
an emphatic denial 1t has never entered
my head to make any plans for 1888. There
is but one substantial point in the paragraph
in question, and l am very proud of that. 1t
is that am a friend of Mr.. P. 81. Kelley,
one of the members of the national executive
committee, but as for his being one Of my
stanchest supporters for the vice presidency,
that is mere rubbish"

Sugar sweetened to His Taste.

Another story is told of a groceryman
of the shrewd old Yankee stock, who on
several occasions was surprised to find
sums of money in his sugar. Where it
came from was mystery. 1t may have
been hidden by slaves for some purpose,
but for what it would be hard to say.
The storekeeper being too conscientious to
keep the money without trying to find an
owner, and likewise being very loath to
give it up, hit upon this plan to satisfy
conscience and keep the money. Going
to the merchants of whom he purchased
the goods he inquired whether they were
responsible for the sticks and stones and
things that were in it.
''No, SIR" was the reply, "you must
take the sugar just as we receive it. We
are not responsible for anything in the
barrels" 1t is needless to say that the
storekeeper did not press the matter

THE LADIES OF THE HAREM.
How the Wives of the Shah Travel
Passing of the Procession.

How the Wives of the Shah Travel.
Passing of the Procession.
When the mandate has gone forth for
the ladies to go abroad from the palace,
which they always do with a long process
sion of coaches, mounted heralds are sent
half an hour in advance to announce their
coming in the streets they are to traverse.
Great commotion Immediately ensues.
The very ours, fighting or hunting their
native reserves in the middle of the street,
scent the alarm and stink into hidden cor
ners; while every shopkeeper hastens to
close his booth and retires from the scene.
Bystanders and Wayfarers take the near
est short cut that may lead them away
from these dangerous precincts, ana soon
the street is entirely deserted.
A rumbling is soon heard i'll the dis
tance; then Il squad of gholams or mounted
guards of the palace, corps OF picked
cavalry, are seen approaching Soon after
the chief eunuch, rather pleasant looking
white man, follows, and then the line OF
blue coaches filled with ladies closely
veiled Mounted eunuchs protect the last
carriage, and another squadron OF cavalry
brings up the rear of the procession, put
at distance from the coaches sufficient
to prevent too close inspection OF the talr
inmates.
Woe be to the lucSless wight who hap
pens 10 be so incautious or unfortunate as
to be found in the street when the process
sion passes. In former times he would
have been slain on the spot. There is a
case on record in which the fOrerunners
discovered page asleep on a rug by the
Wayside. Without so much as stopping to
wake him, they rolled him up in the rug,
tossed him into ditch and buried him
alive. While such a terrible fate might
not perhaps await any one now who should
be caught in such a predicament, yet he
would at least receive kicking and
thrashing that he would remember to his
dying day. Even the sentinels posted in
the street or in palace gates must turn
face to the wall when the royal cOrtege
passes, aud present arms from behind!
Gen. Gasteiger, an Austrian in the SER
vice of the shah, was on one occasion
unable to get away as the coaches entered
the street. Turning to the wall he wagged
his hand at his back by way of salute.
Even the shah Condescended to laugh
when he heard of the absurd incident,
although he shows no disposition to relax
the very strict customs relating to his
wives. Europeans are not exempt from
this strictness; and young foreigner,
who was detected looking from the roof of
his house on the royal ladies as they rode
by, was given twenty-four hours to leave
for the frontier. His legation could afford
him no protection, as he had offended
against the most rigid lawSSand prejudices
of the realms. w. G. Benjamin in Inter
Ocean

A Reminiscent Ghost Story,

After the close of one of the fights I
happened to pass point occupied by some
surgeons, and to which the wounded were
being brought from the field. At the
moment I reached there an ambulance
stopped and wounded man was being
helped to the ground. AS there seemed
some difficulty in getting him out, dis
mounted and assisted in lowering him
from the ambulance and laying him on
the ground. As we did so caught sight
of the wounded mans face, and at once
recognized him as printer named Sewell,
who several years before had been in my
employ in Davenport, Iowa.
He was too weak to say anything The
surgeon examined his wound, and an
nonnced that he was shot through the
body, and that he was mortally wounded,
and could live but few hours at the
most. staid little while, then bade
him good-by, and left, sending on his
name in my next letter as mortally
wounded.
Some four or five years after this Incl
dent, was going east one night on Ran
dolph street toward Clark. A tremen-
dous thunder storm was raging; the rain
fell in floods, and every second or two the
lightning filled the night with binding
glare. As reached Clark street a more
vivid flash than usual lighted up the scene,
aud just at that moment ran against q
man whose face I saw distinctly and in
stantly recognized as that Of the long dead
Sewen. For a moment / was half para
lyzed at this sudden appearance Of the
dead, and then exclaimed:
SIS that you, SewellT' -..-..-.
The dead man answered "Yes'' in q
tone that indicated life, and passed on in
the storm and darkness. Twenty years
later business called me to Lincoln, Neb.,
and some local jonrnal noticed my arrival.
A portly gentleman soon after called, and
in his countenance had no difficulty in
seeing the old printer, the dying soldier,
the ghost of the Chicago storm, and one
whom soon found to be one of the solid
business men of Nebraska's capital
